There is lot of progress is happening on both sides. We discussed about confidence-building measures too. But today’s discussion was unofficial and informal. But this informal meeting will be followed by a formal meeting.”
“I would like to request both sides of people to maintain peace and harmony because they must remember that we are working overtime to resolve the dispute. We want to keep the best interest of the people living on both sides of the border, in our mind we want to protect them. We will try to resolve the dispute to the satisfaction of the people of both Assam and Meghalaya,” Himanta Biswa Sarma said.
